Behold the majesty of tragedy

A gruesome sight from time forgotten

I place my rage upon its mantle

From blackened seeds its roots will grow

I long to drain the life from your gaze

How I despise your ways

You starve me from all that is righteous

Yet to your will I remain enslaved

There is nothing left but a distant memory

There is nothing left to blame

I see the world with eyes stained by pride

I bow my head in shame

I have slain the visions from my true dreams

My will shall not be done

Every step that's taken

Is a step towards certain madness

Trapped in deliberation

I punish the world around me

The growth from aspiration

Is destroyed by abject blackness

No time left to heal the rifts

I let the cancer grow

This is the demise

I scorch the earth without reprieve

I've become a tyrant

I now live to spread misery

The demise of the pure at heart

Is clear for all to see

I drain you now of all your worth
